Jason Nelson Jul 24, 2003 06:28 PM

I was checking some eggs this morning and this is what I seen.These baby come from a Blizzard male and normal albino . the weird thing is I get half albinos and half hets , they should be all albinos ?? . Another thing is the albinos are darker then all my other albinos in this bloodline and the hets are lighter then the other hets in this blood line .

Jason,

What is up bro? Yeah...Terrorizer is hard to beat. Speaking of great bands...Kreator is touring I think with Vader. Two great bands!! They are the applegate gophers of metal.....

We just closed on our house today!!!!! I can't believe how much we will be paying a month compared to our two bedroom apt. we have been in for 5 years.

I will have a whole new snake room, complete with beautiful ceramic tile floor. Guess I need to get a few new pits to celebrate the new house. That is why our Daytona trip will fit perfectly!

How are things going with you with all the new snakes hatching?

How do you explain that??? Weird stuff. They look great, I love the circle back pattern and can't wait to see how they turn out.

Simple. Sounds to me like your amel was the "other" line of albino and your blizzard was het for that line of amel, too. This happens a lot since a bunch of herpers keep less than optimal records and most lines of albinism can't be differentiated with 100% accuracy by looks alone. Somebody could have made a record keeping mistake 5 breeders back, and you are just seeing the results of their mistake....lol.

...or maybe the emale stored sperm from an earlier breeding from even a previous year? It has happened before, even if it is rare. Has she been bred to anything else in the past?

Later,
KJ
